Looks like she had about 10 years of promiscuity: 23 to 33. And then she started getting right with God and being chaste about 3 - 4 years ago. Yes, I do think age can have something to do with it: she probably thought at 23 that if she used sex as a getting-to-know-you introductory offer, by this time she'd certainly find a good man who loved her; and it didn't work out. That hurts at 37 when you realize you no longer have your youthful sparkle and bounce, and the arrow on your fertility gauge is inching toward empty.

I myself had a sins-of-youth period that lasted about 3 years (late teens, early 20's) followed by years, years, of loneliness, doubt, confusion, and struggle.

So I can identify with what Dawn is saying. Except that she is probably hurting even more, because she was in rock-music NYC milieu for all these years, fell a lot farther and was bruised a lot more.

But I was supremely gifted by God to find a good husband: chaste but rapid courtship, happy marriage at just the age Dawn is now. And two kids. And 18 years of faith, trust, mutual gratitude and blessing. Love. Man, there's nothing like it.

So God bless her! I think her honesty, intelligence, vulnerability and courageous heart are attractive (and she's still pretty easy on the eyes.) I bet there's a man out there somewhere who's thinking: "YES-S-S! She's the one!" Dear God, please give that guy a push.
